“…A competitive company is the one that has the ability to generate profit and have significant market share (14) . However, to be considered competitive, the company must use its resources and its capacity to produce the right products and services, with quality, an appropriate price and in the correct number (13) , so it can commercialize, effectively, its products to the consumer market (15) .…”

“…The factors that make up and boost competitiveness are often used as metrics to measure the companies' competitiveness. There is a diversity of ways to monitor competitiveness and, consequently, the performance of the company in that aspect (15) . In this way, there is no synthetic measure or a single index that reveals the performance of competitiveness (12) .…”

The objective of this article is to contribute to the understanding of the concept of competitiveness at firm level and its relation to productivity. To support the objective of this work, a systematic review of the literature was conducted and was subsequently structured an analysis of the elements found in the literature through systems thinking. Systems thinking enables to identify the cause and effect between the elements of competitiveness, highlighting the convergence and divergence between these elements. It was concluded that productivity stood out among the other elements confirming its importance in determining firm competitiveness. Limitations of this study consists on the theoretical nature, there is the need for an empirical study to verify the practical effect of productivity on competitiveness at the firm level.Key-words: competitiveness, productivity, firm, company, system thinking.

“…Total productivity has a significant impact on the drivers of future competition [23] and it is the concept in economic theory that most closely corresponds to the measurement of efficiency in development and so was chosen as the basis for a construction innovation model. Total productivity is defined as the relationship between input and output.…”

The measurement of productivity and efficiency of activities in the Swedish construction sector is examined. Understanding past and present levels of productivity is necessary to steer emerging and future developments aimed at increasing efficiency of construction. The absence of purposeful measurement methods and tools for determining current and targeted levels of productivity creates confusion for clients, designers, constructors and end-users, who are unable to make confident forecasts of costs and revenues or benefits over project life cycles. The findings of an investigation using panels of expert practitioners guided by senior researchers revealed shortcomings in the understanding of factors of driving productivity as well as uncertainty over where improvements might be achieved. The significance of the findings is that methods and tools must be calibrated to current and emerging construction practices and their technical bases rather than continuing with measurements that were conceived for earlier processes and products. The paper concludes with an outline of further research aimed at improving self-learning in regard to both process and product as part of a broad response to raising efficiency through innovation.

“…Muthiah and Huang (2007) present some practical solutions highlighting the OEE teams at the Texas Instruments, USA which have been designed to minimise many of the semiconductor metric problems. Rathore et al (2005) investigated OEE data with a productivity analysis framework called capacity utilisation bottleneck efficiency system, which identified and prioritised productivity inefficiencies with the decreasing in their accompanying tool capacity. Mohanta (2010) has stated about the various techniques of productivity improvement tools.…”

This paper provides an overview of the various processes in textile fabric industry. From the analysis of data taken during the past three years, the company has noted that it has not achieved the targeted productivity. Total productive maintenance (TPM) has been a major component of improvement strategy to enhance the organisational productivity and profitability. Identification of resources and use resources play a critical role in any industry for the improvement of quality and productivity. For example, fabric industry could not get the determined productivity since TPM was not followed. The objective of this paper is to present the result of the past three years productivity data and discussed different results obtained after implementing the procedures of TPM in the failure textile industry. A systematic methodology is presented and analysed by software for improvement productivity at the factory level. Metrics of overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) is introduced and developed a structured robust framework for improvement of quality and productivity.
